You are probably better off just fixing your cluster Samuel.
The usual problem is broken wires on some long ribbon cables inside. They vibrate and crack right at the solder point. One cure is to desolder the ribbons and just replace with wire. It is not that hard if you know how to solder - and you will need a good soldering pencil type iron - not a gun.
